Chapter 2 - Chapter Two

Belle's POV

It has been a few days since Belle and Bella started school and they both were aware of Edward's absence. Belle felt bad for him as she heard his siblings thoughts. She wondered why Emmett didn't go with him since she still seemed to cause him so much pain whenever she was around him. Belle went to her math class as usual and took her seat by Emmett but this time he looked at her and spoke. "Hey I'm Emmett Cullen. I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself before now." he said being polite and Belle was shocked at hearing his voice. She looked back at him. "I'm Belle..." she said awkwardly not sure what else to say. Emmett noticed the tone and then looked at his desk. "So how are you liking it here in Forks?" he asked and Belle sighed wishing she didn't have to answer. "I never really liked it here." she admitted staring at her desk wishing to be anywhere but there. "I don't like the rainy cold weather here." she added and Emmett nodded in understanding. "It's not for everyone." he said and then looked over at her again. "Why did you seem so guilty when you sat next to me that first day?" he asked deciding to ask the question that has been on his mind ever sense then. "I could tell you were in pain and that I was...the cause of it." she admitted revealing more about het than she thought she ever would. Emmett looked shocked then and quickly looked away his thoughts a jumpled mess as he tried to figure out how she'd know. "I can hear thoughts like Edward and I can see a little into the future like Alice." she said and Emmett stiffened. "So you know....our secret." he said not exactly asking a question but confirming what he had just found out. "Yes...I knew as soon as I sat by Alice in biology that first day...but don't worry I haven't told anyone and I won't." she said and Emmett knew she was telling the truth so he nodded knowing he had to tell Carlisle and the others though he had know idea how they would take it.

Belle sat on her bed and thought back to her and Emmett's conversation. He took it better than she thought he would. She sighed grabbing her pajamas and got up going to take a quick shower then did her homework while Bella was downstairs cooking. Belle got on her computer and scrolled through her email answering all of her mother's questions before she could call Charlie and freak out then finished her homework and laid on the bed taking a little nap.

Emmett's POV

Emmett had told Carlisle about Belle and he had seemed very intrigued by her wishing to meet her as soon as possible. Emmett still felt a little burning at the smell of her blood but he was slowly building up strength to ignore it and found himself drawn to her not able to think of anything else. Alice could see the path their future was taking and knew that Emmett had found his mate even though Emmett wasn't aware of it yet. Emmett had gone home and explained everything to the others and Esme wa ecstatic hoping that the girl would be an answer to her prayers for Emmett to find someone. Emmett went to hunt to build up his control before school the next day so he'd be able to talk to her more.

Belle's POV

Belle leaned against their truck studying for a test she had today and watched Bella reading before school started. She was glad it wasn't raining but by the look of the sky it could be any moment. Belle put her notes away as the bell rang and both girls went inside to their separate classes. She took a usual seat by Alice in biology and looked over to find the girl smiling at her. "Hi you must be Belle..and I assume you already know me?" Alice asked in her quiet musical voice that caught Belle of guard bu how beautiful it sounded. "Emmett told you?" she asked and Alice nodded making Belle blush from embarrassment. She couldn't believe they actually talked about her but then again she wasn't normal so they probably wanted to know more about why she could read minds or see into the future being only human. "Carlisle and Esme want to meet you." Alice said and asked what she was doing that weekend. "Nothing...my father usually goes fishing or hunting on the weekends and Bella likes to do the laundry or read and keep to herself so I'd be stuck in my room most of the day." Belle said and Alice grinned glad at het answer. "Perfect then you can come to our house to meet Carlisle and the others." she said making Belle feel nervous knowing Jasper was already struggling at school now he'd have to struggle im his own house but she agreed and then they grew silent as the teacher walked in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At lunch Belle sat by herself though Emmett and Alice both kept glancing at her every now and then. She saw that Edward was back and could hear thoughts glad that he wasn't running anymore and wanted to fight his taste for her sister's blood. Belle ate some of her food not very hungry and was the first one to math that morning going over her homework finishing a few problems that she hadn't got to the night before. She didn't even hear Emmett come in until he cleared his throat. She glanced up at him. "So you're coming over this weekend?" he asked and Belle nodded making him smile but deep down her was nervous. Emmett started feeling old feelings he hasn't felt since he's been turned though he knew that he already cared deeply for her and couldn't stay away he was scared he'd hurt her. Belle could hear his conflicted thoughts and she reached out touching his cold arm for the first time feeling a shock go through her. Emmett looked at her hand then up to her. "How come you're not scared?" he asked but didn't move her hand liking the warmth it provided. "Because I know you won't hurt me." Belle said honestly hearing it in his thoughts seeing it on the future as she glanced ahead trying to see what path he was taking and coming up with the same results as Alice. "How can you be so sure?" he said knowing about her gifts but people's minds and their choices can change. "Because I've seen the choices you're making and the path it's leading us down." she said looking at the table when she added "I'm your mate."
